Town Hall On AI In Second Life Friday

 

On Monday, Linden Lab announced there will be a Town Hall Meeting on Friday April 18. The topic is "AI And The Future of Our Virtual Community." 

 

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly present in both our physical and virtual worlds, the Second Life community is coming together for a Special Town Hall event to explore its evolving role and impact within our shared metaverse.

 

The topics include, "How AI-generated avatars may affect identity and trust in social spaces," "Generative AI and the Second Life creative economy," "Emotional manipulation, consent, and transparency with AI-driven characters," "Use of AI in customer support and other non-in-world services," and "Balancing creative opportunities and responsible use of emerging AI tools"

 

The event, hosted by Philip Linden, starts at 12:30 PM, and takes place on Town Hall Island, three locations listed being Town Hall Island1 (252/5/26), Town Hall Island2 (6/7/26), and Town Hall Island3 (249/252/26). People are invited to submit questions (here). 

AI is a topic that generated controversy in December when the Lab announced, then postponed use of an AI character designer.
